Veteran Led Support for Military Claims

We are a UK organisation made up of former members of the Armed Forces who understand the long-term impact military service can have. Our team brings together experience from across the services, with a shared focus on supporting veterans in a clear, structured, and respectful way.

Your claim remains confidential, safeguarding your privacy. If the claim does proceed to litigation then the result of this is public however you would always be notified before this happens. If you’re currently employed, it would be unlawful for your employer to penalise you for pursuing a claim against your employer.

If you’re able to meet the requirements of the job, pursuing a claim shouldn’t impede your prospects for future employment.

We cannot assure you of any specific entitlement amount. Historically, cases have resulted in settlements that vary from around £4,500 and more complex cases exceeding £10,000. Some cases can be considerably higher, with complex cases warranting compensation of £60,000 plus. The final settlement largely hinges on the unique circumstances of each individual case.

Your case will be evaluated individually based on its specific merits and the availability of a local audiology test. If your case is strong and there are no issues in scheduling a test in your area, your legal representatives will arrange a test for you.

Every hearing loss claim is assessed on its own facts, so there is no single set of circumstances that guarantees a successful outcome. Instead, the strength of a claim is usually determined by a combination of factors, including the nature and duration of the individual’s exposure to noise, whether suitable hearing protection was provided and consistently used, and whether proper instruction was given on how that protection should be worn. Medical evidence also plays an important role, particularly where hearing test results support both the existence of an injury and its likely cause. In addition, the availability of supporting records and documentation from the Ministry of Defence can help establish the relevant circumstances of exposure. Ultimately, each claim is considered on its own merits, with the overall outcome depending on the weight of the evidence available across all of these areas.

It’s important to understand that there is no standard definition of an unsuccessful claim, as every case is assessed on its own facts and evidence. However, a claim may be unsuccessful where there is insufficient evidence to show that military noise exposure caused the reported hearing loss or tinnitus, or where medical assessments and audiology tests do not identify a noise-induced hearing injury. Claims can also be affected if inaccurate, inconsistent, or incomplete information is provided during the process, as this can make it difficult to establish the circumstances of the alleged injury. In some cases, an individual may not be eligible to bring a further claim if compensation has already been awarded for the same injury. Eligibility can also be impacted by the dates of military service, particularly where service was completed before May 1987 or where a significant proportion of service took place before this date. Importantly, submitting an initial enquiry does not mean a claim will be accepted, nor does it guarantee a successful outcome. A full assessment of the available evidence, medical records, and service history is required before any decision can be made.

You have the right to cancel your agreement with the law firm within the 14-day cooling off period and, if you do so, you will not usually incur any charges. However, if you choose to cancel after this period has expired, the law firm may be entitled to charge for the work already carried out on your case. Any such charges would be calculated in accordance with the hourly rates and terms set out in the Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) provided by the firm at the outset of your claim. In addition, costs may be incurred if a claimant fails to cooperate with reasonable requests during the claims process or provides information that is false, misleading, or materially inaccurate. Full details of any circumstances in which charges may apply will be explained by the law firm before you decide whether to proceed.
